If I could give this place 0 stars, I would! If anything is stolen off of you, the staff will do nothing whatsoever to help you find it! My purse was stolen from beside me at C Street recently during one of the drag shows, and when I asked if C Street has security cameras, they said no. But the police said that they do! I also wanted to see if it had been thrown away, but they took the trash out and loaded it in the dumpster right in front of me instead of letting me glance in there first!
A staff member also laughed when I described my purse and asked if he'd seen it and just said... it's gone.... I don't really find having your cash, cards, car and apartment keys, and phone stolen a laughing matter... But the people who run C Street do!
What is this magical place you call C Street? I used to be afraid of this place as a closed-minded junior. "It's too far, I won't like the crowd" I told myself (read: I'm a straight male). But I gave it a shot one day and wow. C Street has the best DJ's and dance floor on/near campus. You can truly dance like a dying flounder and it's totally acceptable (at least late enough in the night). From what I hear from my friends who are girls, they really enjoy it because there aren't guys constantly trying to dry hump them into oblivion. If you want to let loose and get a good leg workout, go to C Street with a group of friends and let the music take control.
ps. Yeah, there are still the creepers who hang at the bar and there is typically cover on the weekends, but it is still exponentially better than any other dance bar in CU.
Hands down this place has the best hot nachos in the city! Â Trust me when I say that I've tried my fair share of nachos in Champbana. Â Bathroom smells a little too much like Cool Water but it doesn't really bother me. Â The drinks are moderately priced and if you are there to celebrate a special occasion, I suggest you try the following drinks in this order:
1. Bazooka Bubblegum Martini
2. Bahama Mama
3. Tanning Bed
4. Summer in a glass
5. Flirty Blue Hawaii
Now that you're a little loose, I suggest you try the dance floor. Â They play the best EDM in the Champaign. Â You'll hear everything from Skrillex to Napalm so get ready to get your sweat on and celebrate the night away.
Parking is relatively easy . There's always parking in the rear.
